A funeral that began with a riderless horse and ended with white doves released into the air. American flags at City Hall and local government buildings flown at half-staff. A candlelight vigil at the Chatsworth train station. Daily News.

They are among the tributes to the victims of the Sept. 12 Metrolink crash that killed 25 people. See our tribute to them here.

Christopher Aiken, 38, of Thousand Oaks, became the proud stepfather of 15-year-old twins Samantha and Katie when he married their mother, Sharon, last year. He was commuting home from work at a food service company when the Metrolink crashed.

"He just loved life," said his mother, Donna Aiken. "Those two girls just meant the world to him."
